Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Krista! I'm a licensed mental health counselor, nationally certified counselor, and a board-certified telemental health provider. I specialize in working with adults, especially young women, who are navigating anxiety, depression, and the challenges of stress management. My approach to therapy is deeply experiential, drawing from schema therapy to create meaningful, lasting change. What does that mean? It means I blend tools from attachment theory, cognitive techniques, and psychodynamic insight to help you understand and shift long-standing patterns... and to not just cope, but grow.

My approach to therapy

I take on a very experiential approach in nature. The dynamic between a therapist and a client is an active component in the process of healing, and I pull from schema therapy techniques to support in that process.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect authenticity from me as a therapist with a sense of curiosity, and in the end, feeling a sense of belonging in this world.
